helppp why my alexandrine sooo panic???

[nikii]

hello,
thx for the reply its really helpful
yeah thats the reason im doubt to let him out again.last time caught him n put him in the cage he was reallllyyy angry n dsnt stop screaming.i dont know what i have to do now.if i let him out he will not come back to cage n i need to catch him which he will kill me for the next day.but beside that its not good to lock him inside cage always.is it any other way to make parrot come back to cage without catching them???if the answer its target training,i tried many times,he dsnt interest at all with it when he is out of cage.(even i bribe him with his fav nuts)
sorry its silly question but it does make me stress this few days.
oh ya do still cath ako to make him come back to cage untill now??

I have this problem as well, id prefer Stuey to be out more but he never goes back and hates it when i catch him

He also likes the vacuum or at least likes to look at it moving around below him. I find that things like that which "have" to be done like changing food etc... at first have upset him but so be it, you cannot do without doing those things so he will have to get used to it. Eventually he may realise the vacuum doesnt come near him so its no problem?

[nikii]

hi,yes i really dont know what i have to do.he is out now,n i will let him fREe till night.if he dsnt eat till tommorow it means i will have to do the catching program
but the good thing is he dsnt go somewhere really high,only sit on my chair.
hope he will come back this time

[nikii]

hi everybody,sorry i post too soon again
i just realize that im dealing with a very tricky little devil.he dsnt come back to his cage,but now he sitting on top of it.at least i know now he dsnt hate his cage anymore n im happy.but,there is something make me confused.how come whenever he's inside the cage he does REALLY good target training.he dsnt even scared to get really near me.but.... when he is out he seems not follow the target training n he bit unsure about me again.grrr..is it possible he trick me of being really innocent little guy,make me open the cage door n now he showing his true colour??
i really need a reply please.. thxxx

I think maybe they feel safer targetting behind protective bars. Stuey won't take a treat unless he's in cage but late last night he let me enter top of cage right above him and feed him. Maybe also they are nervous out of cage and them they wont eat

Perhaps take my route with stuey and get him used to your hands inside with cage, he will know that he cant escape you but still you don't hurt him

[nikii]

hi thx for the reply!!
yeah i agree i think he just bit nervous.he takes everything from my hand,he stay on the top of cage n sitting nicely there without trying to running away from me .he just dsnt want to come inside his cage.i will let him out more days hope he will start to enter his cage again.

thxxxxx!!

Yeah, I agree. Inside the cage is his safe place - home. Ako doesn't really like me to put my hands inside the cage so I'm trying not to if I don't have to.
And nikii, about putting Ako to his cage - I don't have a problem with that anymore. I take him on my hand (but my hand is covered with a sleeve because otherwise he cannot keep balance - slipping away And I go to a cage door with him and say "go to cage now, Ako" and I put a treat inside. Sometimes he's messing with me and jumping on my arm, and when I put my arm close to the door he jumps on my other arm but he goes to his cage after few jumps ;p He's not escaping to the other side of the room anymore when I want him in cage

Try this: make him reaaaaly hungry. Close the cage door for couple of hrs and then open and put treats inside (so he can see what u doing) and stay like 2 meters away and you can say something like: "There's a trat for you inside" or what I say to Ako. And when he goes inside you close the door. But don't run! Do it calmly otherwise you scare him. Maybe it will work. Anyway, You won't hurt him this way, right?

Ok, talk to you soon, have to go now quickly.

See You

Kath and Ako

hi kath,
thx for the idea,i will try it tomorrow,hope it will work.

my husband keep asking me to give him to someone expert cuz he cant tolerate the screaming,n jojo also bite him.sometimes i feel wanna give up also,i tried everything,sing to him,talk with kiddy voice to him(im 22 now n sometimes im not in mood to do it) but he still scared of us(specially with my husband).i have a kind of feeling the birdshop catch him from jungle n its really difficult to tame him cuz he is wild
ok,thx for all the reply,really great idea!!
soon i will tell u the news if he come back to his cage,

[dan4]

Niki does he get hungry and want to go back for food ever? Tonight my Stuey hadnt eaten much all day when he came out and within a few hours he was back ontop of cage and i lured him back in with a treat. First time ive ever had to not catch him!

[nikii]

hi dan4,
no he never.its already 3 days he dsnt come back at all.instead of going to cage he fly to me beg for food.
i dont know what i have to do,he always sit on the top of his cage,n he too scared to climb down to the cage door.i give him with my hands,cuz im scared he will sick.
any idea??
